"Ni ange, ni bête" by André Maurois is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the historical context of France during King Louis-Philippe's reign, the story appears to explore themes of social class, political ideologies, and personal relationships. The primary character, Philippe Viniès, a young engineer with progressive Republican beliefs, engages with various figures, including the older archéologist Bertrand d'Ouville, and navigates the complexities of life in Abbeville as he encounters different social and familial dynamics. The opening of the novel situates readers on a diligence ride where Philippe Viniès meets M. Bertrand d'Ouville, who is intrigued by the young engineer's arrival in town. Their conversation delves into the local society's aversion to political discussions, reflecting the cautious atmosphere of the region. As they reach Abbeville, Philippe is introduced to the community and the routines of its inhabitants, revealing a blend of traditional values and emerging modern ideas. This initial encounter sets the stage for Viniès' internal struggles and his interactions with other characters, hinting at the broader themes of freedom and societal expectations that will unfold throughout the narrative.
